It's 1:8.

I hadn't really thought about what it's worth. Wanted to see if there was any interest first. I have a nice 2280/10 that can go with it too.

It's a Newton scratch built. Not sure on the weight. It's all custom with glass cowls from Troy McIntire. Ballentine rudder. Speedmaster strut. Still needs work but the engineering is mostly done.

I also have the correct coded house of Kolor Yellow and Violet paint that can go with it.

I'd like to get $1000 for boat, hardware, motor, and the paint.

Not likely.

I going to have to spend a ton of money to replace all the unreliable junk I took to CAFE with me. Radios recievers and speedos. A 1000 wil barely scratch the surface.

You never know though. I STILL want that Circus Circus that Chris is sitting on. Pricey though.

Is this a done deal?

If not lmk I'd be willing to go higher that $1000.

Terry,

Yes, Ken is right. It'll cost $40-60. The most reasonable is Fed-Ex Ground, and the highest cost way would be UPS through somebody like Mailboxes Etc., but whatever it actually costs, just let me know and I'll cover it. Then send me your Paypal addy.

I might have been able to weasle a few more dollars out of it but it not being done I'm really comfortable with the price. It has it's short comings. Needs some new bearing in the strut. Some boddy work left to do. Plus, with it going to Texas I know it will be getting treated right. LOL

Jim, I was think of just having you mail a check as the fees from Paypal will be nuts.

What I'd like to know is when the Jevmax Model Boat Racing Museum is going to be open.

Kathy and I were in NYC last week and spent an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They have an empty wing waiting for your collection, Jim. LOL

Absolutely Terry. I'll give her a good home, and you'll probably get to see it race at the next MC or at the Texas Hydro Shootout :) Just PM me with you mailing address and I'll get the cash on it's way. No rush on shipping, just take your time.

Doug,

The Jevmax Museum of R/C Boating is kinda like a black hole. It even absorbs light! There might be a purge sometime though, as Texas is only so big :)

I'd love to see a pic of your collection? Do you store them all out of the way or are they dislayed somehow?

More power to ya, man. I'm a hull collector myself...just on a smaller scale.

My name is Doug and I'm a hull-a-holic.
